Tre Johnson Declares for 2025 NBA Draft After 1 Season at Texas, B/R's No. 6 Prospect

After his stellar freshman season at Texas, shooting guard Tre Johnson is ready to test his skills at the next level.

Johnson announced on Tuesday's episode of NBA Today that he is declaring for the 2025 NBA draft.

B/R's Jonathan Wasserman ranked him as the No. 6 prospect in his draft big board and predicted he would be selected by the Toronto Raptors with the No. 7 pick in his latest mock draft.

Johnson started all 33 of his appearances for the Longhorns and led the team with 19.9 points per game while adding 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists. He shot 42.7 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from three-point range on his way to earning SEC Freshman of the Year honors.

Texas went 19-16 this season and ended the year with an 86-80 loss to Xavier in the First Four of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Johnson scored 23 points in that game and chipped in 6 rebounds and two assists.

Wasserman stated that his final collegiate performance "painted a fairly accurate picture of the scouting report," as he "wowed with perimeter creation, footwork for separation and rhythm, balance on his jumpers and high-level shotmaking skill from on and off the ball."

Johnson could use some improvements in his playmaking ability, and he showed a penchant for settling for jump shots rather than driving to the rim aggressively. His defense has also left much to be desired, but the right development can make him a reliable NBA player.

"Johnson will look like an easy fit and sure-fire scorer/shooter to plug in right away," Wasserman added. "He'll likely start to draw serious consideration closer to No. 4 or No. 5, based on the idea that it's difficult to reach a certain level of stardom relying so heavily on tough pull-ups or step-backs without offering another layer of playmaking or impact defense."
